Santorum, GOP Calls for Impounding of Touch-Screen Machines in PA… And Other Notable Meltown 2006 Dangling Threads…
PLUS: Velvet Revolution's $500k Reward for Evidence of Fraud! A couple of important points buried fairly deep into my ComputerWorld post-mortem article on the 2006 Electoral Meltdown. So for those too lazy (okay, "busy") to read the whole thing, I'd like to make sure you're aware of a few key points, so far underreported by the corporate mainstream media:
Rick Santorum and the Pennsylvania GOP wrote a letter to state officials on Tuesday afternoon demanding touch-screen systems in 27 counties be impounded after reports of votes flipping from Republican to Democrat. I applaud the aggressive, pro-active stance. Even from Santorum. Dems should have done the same long ago with every report of Dem to Rep votes flipping. This is just one of the reasons I mentioned previously, that Santorum shouldn't have conceded.
The election in the FL-13 U.S. House race continues to be a mess. With just 368 votes separating the two candidates fighting for Katherine Harris' old seat, some 18,000 votes seem to have completely disappeared on the ES&S touch-screen systems. .. hmmmmmmmn .. been here before ...LOL .. A full ten U.S. House races are still "too close to call", many of them to come down to attempts to recount votes cast on uncountable electronic voting machines.
